I invested a lot of money in buying a satellite dish and a new TV set because I wanted to watch the day the battle for Baghdad begins.

Gosh, we're sorry to hear that, Nael!

The family doesn't get their $30,000 for supplying Suicide Bombers anymore.

When are the Arabs and Palestinians going to realize that their backward societies and militaries cannot win against the 21st century American military? I don't know what it will take. Perhaps Iraq will go a long way toward convincing them.

"No other embassies were targeted by bombing, which proves that the targeting of the Palestinian embassy was premeditated and not an accident."

Turnaround is fair play. The cheering from palestinians, after 11 Sep. 2001, was "premeditated and not an accident."

Americans owe palestinians nothing, whatsoever, following the post 9/11/01 cheering. Nothing, nothing, nothing.

That the US looks beyond that, and still tries to help them find a means to live in peace, is a sign of our humanity.

There have been no signs of their humanity.

The atrocities perpetrated by their compatriots in the Fedayeen and Abu Abbas' gang against the Iraqi people have gained them 27 million more enemies.

The Iraqis will never forgive the Palestinians for what they are doing in this war.

I once was supportive of a Palestinian state. Under no circumstances should Gaza and the West Bank be allowed anything more than a nominal autonomy under intense outside supervision.

They have proven themselves to be a threat to civilization. Keep them in the cages of their making.

When will these Arabs realize they were given misinformation by their media that made them think we could lose?

The coward's view of war. Real soldiers, like the U.S. Army, are men of peace.

Damn, I knew we should have bombed the French, Russian, German and Chinese embassies by accident too!

BTW don't you have to be a country to have embassies? Maybe the POS was talking about the PLO terrorist training camp we found?

This shows that there is a enormous gulf between the perception of even many Arabs in other countries and the reality of the liberation and joy that the real Iraqis are expressing now with the liberation of their country by our American, British and Allies Marines, Armies, Air Forces and Navies.

The people of Iraq are ecstatic with joy to see our men and women of the armed forces. Because they are being freed from decades of oppression, murder, torture and fear under the terrible despot. It‘s a wonderful thing for Iraq, for our nation and for the world that our forces have now returned the dictator to dirt and returned Iraq to her people.

... only this time shoot for maximum civilian causualties!

You don't mean that. Not really.

The way we win is by being the good guys who carry the big sticks.

I said 3 weeks ago that the lies reported by the Arab media would come back to haunt them, when it was found out what liars they were. And I was correct.

I'm wondering if any of these people will finally figure out they were being lied to about the USA and Iraq ...?? Yeah, okay - I'm not holding my breath!

This victory will already be a good thing just because so many Arabs now see that their press consists of LIARS. They hear these ridiculous reports, only to see us in Baghdad the following week, AND to see the Iraqis wildly celebrating our entrance and toppling statues of Hussein!

Ironically, we can thank Baghdad Bob and his preposterous lies for perhaps deterring a generation of suicide bombers.

"I feel as if a dagger has been stuck in my heart when I see American soldiers strolling in the heart of Baghdad."

He can't understand the Iraqis' exuberance because his only frame of reference for "oppression" is Israel.  He just doesn't realize what real oppression is.
